Former U.S. Rep. Bob Beauprez[2] and his wife Claudia along with other Coloradans sing the national anthem along with Ayla Brown as the Republican National Convention convened Wednesday night in Tampa.

Former Congressman Bob Beauprez campaigned with the Romneys in 2008 so it’s no surprise what his favorite part of the RNC has been so far: Ann Romney’s speech[3].

“They just love each other. I kind of like that,” said Beauprez, whose also known for his close relationship with his wife.

Beauprez went to the 2000 RNC as chairman of the Colorado Republican Party. He attended the 2004 festivities in New York City as a congressman, saying he was part of the “cattle call” giving 30-second speeches. This convention in Tampa has a great feel to it, he said.

“I’m impressed by the energy, optimism and anticipation,” Beauprez said. “People are very jazzed by all this.”
